Freightgate's PLTX Carbon Footprint Functionality

Press Release -
January 21, 2009

Freightgate's Logistics Management Lifecycle PLTX

Freightgate, a global industry leader in Web 2.0 technology supply
chain software solutions, today announced that it has launched
innovative carbon footprint functionality in it's signature PLTX
Platform for the Logistics Management Lifecycle. This new carbon
footprint functionality will help organizations capture, analyze and
optimize the carbon footprint of their logistics and supply chains. For
the first time supply chain executives will have operational
efficiency, financial cost control and carbon emissions perspectives in
one integrated SaaS+plus(tm) PLTX platform.

"There is growing interest in understanding the impact of
various supply chain decisions on a company's carbon emission
footprint" states Martin Hubert, Freightgate President and CEO. Hubert
continues by saying "companies have numerous options in how to address
their energy use and environmental impact. However, analyzing the
carbon impact for various sourcing decisions and logistics options has
been difficult to impossible until now. Our technology provides a quick
way of analyzing the carbon footprint of various logistics alternatives
within the Logistics Management Lifecycle."

Using Freightgate's WISA module within it's PLTX Platform, a
company will be able to generate different supply change scenarios that
compare operational, financial and environmental impact of their supply
chain. The WISA results will help determine which scenario is
environmentally sound while at the same time being financially and
operationally viable.

Companies can no longer ignore their impact on the
environment. Just recently the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
said it might hold discussions on a proposed carbon tax to limit
greenhouse gas emissions. Companies using Freightgate's innovative
carbon footprint functionality will be able to simultaneously reduce
carbon emissions and total supply chain costs in a collaborative
initiative. Freightgate understands a supply chain is optimized when it
is meeting or exceeding its customer service objectives and it is
operating at minimal carbon footprint with minimal total transportation
spend. Carbon footprint functionality is another example how
Freightgate is helping companies with the challenges of supply chain
optimization and carbon emissions compliance.

least 24 hours before loading any ocean shipments in a vessel bound for
the United States.

Compliance-Trek!™ will enable importers to file information
from any
worldwide location collaborating more closely with their suppliers,
forwarders, customs brokers and ocean vessel carriers to fulfill their
Importer Security Filing responsibilities avoiding penalties and
shipment delays. Compliance-Trek!™ exclusive features makes information

will enable importers to improve the seamlessness of their supply chain
visibility while at the same time complying with the new regulations. "

Protection. We want our customers to be fully prepared when that
